•HISTORY AND CULTURE
The origins of the TATA province inhabitants are complexed and varied.
The amazighs tribes and sedentary and nomadic arabs lived in this
province. TATA contains a very rich archeological heritage showing a
prodigious civilization which radiated during thousands years. The sultan
Mansou ed-Dehebi, since the 16th century used it as a fortress against the
Tarzeroualt house expansion and the threat that this latest pressed on the
central power and, on the other hand, as one of a base which was necessary
in the north of the Sahara for the Sudan conquest. |
•CRAFT
TATA province is characterized by its richness and variety of its craft in
the urban center as well as the rural communes and even the douars.
Carpets of the area are distinguished by a finer tissage, the intensity
and warmth of its colours in the prolongation of the Haut Atlas (Ait
Ouaouzguit) whereas in the other areas, carpets are often of high coloured
wool with simple in-line decoration (diamond, triangle rectangle…)

•TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
The cave engraving sites in the TATA province has a particular interest for several reasons : they are part of the greatest cave pool zone of the |
kingdom (more than 114 sites).
The sites of TATA are Imaoun,
Tiggane, Oum la leg and Adrar
Metgourine. This sites offers
a variety and diversity of cave
engravings through all the different
stages of this art.
However, the Imaoun site located at
30 km to the northern Akka deserves
a particular attention. Actually, on
top of bovids representaiton, this
site shows prevailing impressive
geometric engravings : concentric
circles and spirals as well as anthropomorthic shapes. So it shows a great
human move that the province knew for more than 7 000 years |

The ksar of Jebaïr, located on west-southward of Tazart, can be joined up by a footpath which arrives directly on the méchouar, the main place is to be visited.

Almoravide towers), go back to Taroudannt by Imitek panoramic
track. THE DRAA VALLEY, the Drâa river gave birth to a huge oasis, 200
km length at the Anti-Atlas foot.
This valley at the desert doors has been coveted for a long time by the
nomads and the Drâa inhabitants had to fortify their houses (kasbahs) and
their villages (ksours).
OASIS is at first a spontaneous vegetal fomation always linked to the date palm hairy outline. Appearing suddenly in the middle of a dry landscape or at the foot of a desert mounain, the oasis is a haven of peace and silence where the vivid green of vegetables and cereals parcels is conjugated to the refreshing shade of the fruit trees and to the presence of water which
runs along the narrow earth rivulets.
Coming from Arabia, the date tree belongs to the most primitive palm tree group which has appeared 100 millions of years agos and can reach 30 m high,
leaves and palms live 4 to 5 yeas before drying up.
There is male and female trees, both of them blossom from March to April and the natural pollination is ensured by the wind.
Everything is used from the palm tree : palms are used as fuel, wind curtain, to make mats, furniture and basketry. The wood from the trunks is carved to be used as gutters and beams for the roofs.
